Since Allergy cannot be cured, the only way to deal with it is to learn to avoid the offending allergens. This is the first book of its kind, written for laymen, which brings out comprehensive, succinct and expert information on all the different aspects of Allergy. Since the modern system of Medicine has limitations in treating this disorder, evidence-based up-to-date knowledge of the emerging alternative therapies are discussed in detail. Diagnostic considerations are also addressed for better understanding of the disease and its treatment.

This book scores over others in that is does not just confine itself to Allopathic treatment, but offers an authoritative guidance on alternative therapies like Ayurveda, Yoga, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Magnetotherapy, colour Therapy, Acupressure, Music Therapy and Vastu Shastra.

The author, Dr. Arun Kumar Sethi, is a multi-faceted personality. He passed out as an outstanding Medical graduate from Stanley Medical College, Chennai in 1986. He worked as a Research Scientist at AIIMS, New Delhi, for about seven years. He has taught physiology in Lady hardinge and Maulana Azad Medical Colleges for several years. He has regularly contributed articles to many renowned medical journals. He is also an AIDS Counsellor and Reiki Master. His other books are – Bowel Care & Digestive Disorders, How to have Sound Sleep and Diabetes Control in your hands.

Allergy is the bane of our modern civilisation and has assumed epidemic proportions in all parts of the world. It poses one of the greatest health challenges of the 21" century, because no curative treatment has been found so far. Moreover, with scientific advancement, the menace of environmental pollution has also contributed towards the problem of Allergy.

Allergies are of several types. Some individuals are allergic to dust and changes in temperature; others are adversely affected by certain food substances or medicines. A few people suffer from skin allergy and a handful develop allergic symptoms due to insects and even their pet animals.

Since Allopathic treatment has failed to find a cure for the curse of Allergy, it is worthwhile trying other alternative forms of treatment like Ayurveda, Yoga, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Magnetotherapy, Colour Therapy, Acupressure, Music Therapy, Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui.

I have ventured to write this book in order to educate the layman about the different aspects of Allergy and hope the readers will find it useful and enjoyable to read.
